Lane's 2014 Transportation Survey was distributed electronically to all Lane students and employees in May 2014.  445 students and 330 employees took the survey representing 4% of students and 29% of employees.  The survey results will help Lane better estimate greenhouse gas emissions from daily commuting and to develop transportation demand management programs that will support more climate-friendly modes of transportation.  Here is a quick summary of some of the survey results:
